We've got this 802.11g wireless USB adapter from Alfa. This
is the newest 1000mW version from Alfa, brand new in the retail box! It
includes the adapter, a 5 dBi antenna, a 9 dBi antenna, driver CD, and a
USB cable. Also included is a holster case mount with detachable suction cup
and clip. Note that the mount and attachments are not standard
accessories included in the retail box, and so listings on other web
sites from other sellers may not come with a mount unless described. The
mount allows you to affix the Alfa adapter to a surface such as a
window, or clip it to the back of a laptop LCD. The 9 dBi antenna
included in this auction is an Alfa product too, not a generic antenna.
The Alfa logo is printed right on the antenna. We buy our adapters and
antennas direct from Alfa and are an authorized retailer of Alfa
products. Sellers who are not authorized retailers get their inventory
from third party distributors. To ensure you are getting a genuine Alfa
product with a valid warranty, be sure to buy from an authorized Alfa
seller. And remember, just because a seller's ad says they are an
authorized Alfa dealer does not mean it is so- contact Alfa directly to
verify our company, Rokland, is an authorized Alfa seller, and be sure
to do the same with our competition. What sets this USB device apart
from other USB adapters on the market is that this has an RP-SMA antenna
connector so that you can add an external antenna to boost your
wireless range. This is the newest version that includes an external 5
dBi gain antenna in the retail box. As a bonus for this auction, we are
also including a 9 dBi gain (15 inches tall) antenna.

**This has a stunning 1000mW output power**. So if you are looking for a device to connect to an outdoor 2.4 GHz antenna, such as on a boat or an RV, this is a perfect solution. Because this is a USB adapter, it works on any computer (desktop or laptop) that has a USB port. In addition to working with the usual suspects (Win98SE/200/ME/XP), this also works with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux (kernel 2.6.6 and later) and Macintosh (OS version 10.3 through 10.6- 10.6 use requires 32-bit kernel boot). But please note that Mac drivers are not included in the shipment. However we can email you a download link upon request. Also, we should note that our technical staff can only provide advanced support for Windows operating systems. We can provide limited support for Mac and Linux. While we will do our best to help, Linux users please remember Linux is a user supported operating system and at this time we do no have walkthroughs or guides for Linux installs.

This adapter has a stunning 1000mw output power. That's 1 full watt. That's 5x the output power of the Senao USB 200mw adapters w/ RP-SMA connector that sell on eBay for the same price and over 3x the power of Ubiquiti 300mw PCMCIA cards that go for over $70.00!

***ATTENTION*** some new laptops from manufacturers like Dell and HP no longer include a PCMCIA card slot. Up until now if you bought or planned to buy one of these laptops, there would be no way for you to get a wireless connection option with an external antenna connector. This has all changed with this kit we are offering. This will work on any PC with a USB port (laptop or desktop) and is especially ideal for folks whose laptops do not have a PCMCIA slot who need a long range wireless solution! We believe that in the coming years PCMCIA cards will be a thing of the past. So even if your laptop has a slot, why not buy this kit- USB is the wave of the future and then you will be able to use this kit on any laptop you might purchase down the road.

This item is brand new in retail box. The 5 dBi antenna is in the retail box, the 9 dBi antenna is not in retail box. This adapter does not have a built-in antenna. Use the included 5 dBi or 9 dBi gain antenna or any other antenna you may already have or get that has an RP-SMA connector on it.

Can I manually adjust the output power?
-Alfa includes a new utility that allows you to control the maximum output power in Windows.

Why would this adapter work better than a generic 1000mW USB adapter, since they both have the same output power?
-1000mW refers to the maximum output power at which the device can operate. It is important to read the fine print. Many generics can technically output at 1000mw max, but can only do so at very slow connection speeds. The other important distinction is the chipset. The Alfa has a Realtek RTL8187 chip which is the most sensitive Realtek G chipset. Many generics will say they use a Realtek chipset just like Alfa, but they use an RT8187B chip, which has much weaker receive sensitivity. Alfa also puts their item though much stricter quality control tests and high quality manufacturing processes, meaning your adapter is likely to last much much longer than a cheaply assembled knockoff.

How far away can I pick up signals with this?
-For this question there is no exact answer. Wireless range is an imperfect science. The range you get with any adapter will vary markedly depending on the strength and quality of the wireless access point being used, as well as obstacles and interference in the area. Keep in mind that interference can often be invisible. The Alfa is the longest range and most powerful standalone wireless adapter on the market at the time of this writing. Basically, if this kit does not work for you, you will likely need to look into some sort of high gain outdoor setup. If you are trying to pick up signals from far away, and are not sure this will give you enough range, please contact us with details about your situation and we may be able to offer an opinion.

Orders will generally be shipped the same or next day after payment is received. Periodically if we are experiencing unusually high order volume, your order may not be shipped until the second business day after payment is received, but this is not usual. We offer both UPS and US Postal methods of shipping as described below.

US 50 States + Puerto Rico: FREE US Postal First Class Mail.
This includes delivery confirmation and insurance. According to the US
Postal Service, First Class Mail takes an average of 4-7 delivery days to
arrive. This is not a guaranteed transit time though, it is just an
average delivery time.

US 50 States + Puerto Rico: $6.00 US Postal Priority Mail. This includes delivery confirmation and insurance. According to the US Postal Service, Priority Mail takes an average of 2-3 delivery days to arrive. This is not a guaranteed transit time though, it is just an average delivery time.

US 48 States: $8.50 UPS Ground Service. This includes insurance and tracking. This rate is only for bidders in the Continental US. We do ship to Alaska/Hawaii and APO/FPO but it must go via the US Postal Service so please take a look at a US Postal option. If you need the item shipped via an expedited method like 2nd Day Air, please inquire with your zip code for rates before bidding. UPS Ground can take from 1-7 days or longer depending on your proximity to our shipping location which is in Florida. UPS can take longer than US Postal Service Priority Mail, but UPS tracking tends to be updated more often than Postal Service tracking, and UPS tracking typically posts an estimated delivery date online within 12 hours after shipping, where as US Postal Service tracking does not.

International Shipping Rates & Customs Duty Information: This auction ships worldwide via Standard First Class mail. This method is $9.95 ($4.95 for Canada) but can take 2-4 weeks or longer to arrive. This is primarily because the item can be held at customs for inspection for a long period. If you cannot wait 2-4 weeks or longer for free First Class International Service, consider this faster worldwide option:Express Mail International Service: $52.00, includes tracking and insurance, takes 4-7 days to arrive on average
